Audzep Temple Floor Map, Ground Level
Leone's temple in Audzep began as a small shrine in a deep river valley, eventually building up a central spire like a light house to help travelers see their destination and better reach it through the mountainous terrain. In the second era greater construction added a circular courtyard for gatherings and preaching of the Goddess's precepts. Between the second and their era, during the collapse of the Empire back into city states, the outer wall was thickened to stand up to possible attack and massive storage was dug out beneath the temple for the stockpiling of food in the case of a siege. Now in the third era, the temple acts as a place of worship, a public bath, and a stockpile of resources.
In the center of the ground level is a private bath and guest quarters where expectant parents await the arrival of their child, cared for by the priesthood who also serve as midwives at the time of labor and delivery. Some nobles begin their journey to Audzep the moment they find they are with child, specifically to take advantage of this amenity and ensure they give birth under the best conditions possible.
